Certain Level Of Education
To be a geisha, you need to be highly educated especially in Japanese tradition and culture. She needs a education for at least a few years before she can be an actual geisha. She must work hard to achieve her goals if she truly wants her. A girl under 16 years of age can become a maiko where she has to learn to sing, dance and entertain in the traditional Japanese way. Other skills include playing the instrument, participating in tea ceremonies, flower arrangement and wearing the kimono. The age of 21 is the perfect age for a maiko to be graduated to a geisha.
